My September Horoscope.

A Pretty Girl that I know, just emailed my horoscope to me. This is what it said...

Here are a few of the interesting developments I expect that you will have enjoyed by the end of September: unexpected revelations about your past; a deeper commitment that spawns more freedom; an ethical use of smoke and mirrors for the most important hocus-pocus of the year; unheard-of emotions that are so transformative they make pain unnecessary; and -- speaking metaphorically here -- a night journey down a dark road that leads to a pile of coal where a huge diamond is hidden.


Now, I'm not a huge fan of horoscopes. I've tried that old trick where you read other horoscopes about other signs and see if they match up to you, too. And sometimes they did. Sometimes the astrologer writes in such a vague way, that they really could mean just about anything. We, the readers, fill in the details.

But this one describes actual changes in my life that I could easily step back and take stock of.

-Unexpected Revelations about my past?
-A Deep Commitment that Spawns More Freedom?
-An Ethical Use of Smoke and Mirrors?

Well, I can actually track whether I have any sort of revelations about my past. And I'll know if I make any more commitments to anyone or anything. And being a theater nerd, there's already a pretty good chance that I'll be using Smoke and/or mirrors (metaphorically) some time soon. So, I'll know if I'm using theater to actually get something else done.

All things that I can track.

Let's meet back here around October 1st and see if these have or have not come true.

Cheers,
Mr.B

Oh Anonymous Skeptic,

I think I AM being smart. I'm taking a critical, but interested eye on something that was applied to me and using hindsight to determine whether it was or was not accurate. I think that's pretty smart.

But in order for that to happen, I have to state, before the time elapses, what's been predicted for me. That's what this post was all about. Stating ahead of time, what's supposed to transpire.

In a later post, we'll come back and take a look at how close it was to the mark.

At the very least, you got to look at an interesting pic of Aleister Crowley, being very serious about his magic stuff. A skeptic might look at that and think, "Hmm, doesn't that person look a little silly for being so into his magical hoo-haa?" Yes, a skeptic just might think that.

Check back in TWO WEEKS to see if my horoscope was correct or not! Try to contain your relentless curiosity, until then!

Cheers,
Mr.B

If there was a shred of scientific data that astrology was anything more than a device used by charlatans to take money from the gullible, then perhaps your experiment would be worthwhile.

This is akin to smacking your weenie against a tree because your great-grandfather's diary came to life, sprouted weenies for limbs, then had those weenies get boners, and then walked over to you and shouted, "I am a diary with boner weenies for limbs, please smack your weenie against a tree!"

Your Boner-Weenie Metaphor intrigues me. But I think that I need a little more information before I can accurately respond...

In this metaphor, when I smack MY weenie against the tree, will MY weenie sprout boner-limbs and go walking around saying things to people?

Also, is the tree in this metaphor a Vagina-tree? If not, then what sort of tree is it?

Please note that your answers will determine my response to your metaphor. Please be as accurate in your answers as you possibly can.

Thank you,
A Very Scientific Person
